That
was
one
of
the
interesting
statements
made
last
night
by
Professor
F.
H
Soward
of
the
University
of
British
Columbia
in
an
illuminating
lecture
on
the
"Wider
Implications
of
the
Italo-Ethiopian
Dispute."
Lee
Gordon
presided
at
the
meeting
In
the
city
council
chamber
and
the
speaker
was
introduced
by
City
Commissioner
W.
J.
Alder.
In
opening
his
address
Dr.
Soward
quoted
from
one
of
the
I
speeches
of
Mussolini
in
Septem
ber,
1911,
in
which
he
said:
"Between
us
Socialists
and
the
Nationalists
there
is
this
differ
ginning
her
efforts'
toward
expansion.
She
seized
Tripoli
from
Turkey.
At
that
time
there
was
a
free
press
and
Mussolini
was
editing
z
newspaper
which
gave
voice
to
views
opposed
to
the
government
of
the
day.
The
reason
for
the
chance
of
attitude
of
Mussolini
seemed
to
be
that
he
was
drunk
with
power,
"All
power
corrupts
and
absolute
power
corrupts
absolutely"
seemed
to
apply
in
this
case.
Dr.
Soward
then
outlined
the
various
movements
which
led
up
to
the
commencement
of
hostili
ties
There
was
the
affair
at
Wal
Wal
when
the
British

were
